Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham, born on the 17th of April 1974 in Harlow, Essex, has lived several lives in one: Posh Spice of the best-selling girl group of all time, then a solo singer, then, against most predictions, a fashion designer whose eponymous label won UK designer brand of the year and drew the once-sceptical fashion press to her New York shows. Appointed OBE in 2017 for services to fashion, she reinvented herself from pop star to style icon by sheer will.

Her Sun in Aries is the pioneer at their most exalted, a double leader, the self-starter who gets back in the saddle no matter what and casts light wherever she goes. Placed in the eleventh house of tribe and network, that hero-Sun refuses to share a throne and so builds her own franchise, her own brand, rather than remain one member of any group.

Her Moon in Aquarius is the cool, detached, revolutionary psyche, wired to the collective and to reinvention, sitting in the ninth house of foreign horizons and higher vision, a mind fed by the wider world. Her Cancer Ascendant softens all this steel with a lunar, watchful, protective shell, the matriarch behind the polished mask.
